Was a pilot in training apparently. Not sure why Lufthansa still training pilots on the 747, they are one of the last major airlines still flying them and presumably not for much longer.
The reason for the go-around is because the bounce puts the plane into an unstable configuration so the safest thing to do is get it in the air again ASAP then have another go
